Post-Toddler Necessities – My Go-To List and HUGE Giveaway!

Tuesday, July 26, 2011 by Lolli

I remember when KitKat, my oldest, was a baby. I couldn’t wait for her to get bigger and be able to interact with me and other kids, walk without being held, and feed herself (among many other wishes and desires).

She grew up way too fast, and soon she was out of the toddler years and on to more grown up things. Luckily, I had 4 more kids to fill the space, and I spent MANY years in the toddler and post-toddler stages. Despite the challenges of running errands with little ones and teaching them all the new skills that they need to learn, I adored the post-toddler years (times 5!).

I especially loved the 2 years before AJ, my youngest, started school. He was the only child at home (a huge thing for a mother of 5!) and I was able to focus all of my attention on post-toddler things. We took outings together a few times a week, we cooked together at home, and we did lots and lots of crafty projects. We had a blast together. Here are a few of our favorite things:

 

Post-Toddler Favorites

  • Play dough – there is something magical about this goopy stuff. My kids loved to squish, cut, and shape play dough. We loved to make our own play dough (it’s softer than the stuff you buy at the store).
  • Rice – not to eat. Rice is a GREAT toy! I would buy a huge bag of rice and pour it DRY into a covered bin. I added some measuring cups, funnels, and cars and let the kids play. It’s easier to clean up than sand, and I didn’t worry so much about rice getting in eyes or hair or the carpet.
  • Cups with straws – As kids transition from bottles and sippy cups, straws are the perfect helper.
  • Picture books – I LOVE to read, and I also love to collect books for me and the kids. I gathered as many as possible at thrift stores and used book stores. We grew a little library of our own!
  • Shoes with velcro – As a mom with 5 kids, I needed my little ones to be able to do as much as possible to get ready on their own. Velcro is a mom’s friend!
  • Crayons, paper, and scissors – My kids spent HOURS (and still do!) coloring, cutting, and making things with paper. I didn’t need to buy any special products. Simple white copy paper and a pack of crayons (along with some kid-safe scissors) kept them busy for a long time!
  • Movies and videos – Although I wouldn’t want to put my kids in front of the TV or DVD player all day long, I loved when they got to the stage where they would sit still for an entire DVD. There is so much great programming out there for toddlers and preschoolers that actually teach kids important things!
  • Kid-sized versions of Mom’s things – My kids (especially when they were younger and more impressionable…) loved to follow me around doing the things I do. If I was sweeping, they liked to get a kid-sized broom to sweep along side me. If I was cooking, they wanted to have their own mixing bowl and spoon to cook with me, too. I embraced it and let them get used to the tools that I used to cook and clean and do everything around the house. It was a great togetherness activity and it taught them how to do jobs around the house.

Guess what? GoodNites® and Better in Bulk are giving away an ENORMOUS Post-Toddler Go-To Product Gift Basket. The basket includes some of my favorite toddler necessities PLUS a really handy gift card for YOU. Here’s a peek at what’s inside:

    Thanks for the giveaway…we try to limit liquids by mouth an hour before bedtime, and have found that a relaxed atmosphere (i.e. soft classical music) to accompany a bedtime story can help.

    According to Sue Dengate, author of Fed Up: Understanding How Food Affects Your Child and What You Can Do About It (Random House Australia, 2003), intolerances to food can increase your child’s chances of wetting the bed. “I always like to distinguish between true food allergies – a quick reaction to food proteins involving itching or swelling – and food intolerances, which are a delayed reaction to chemicals in a wide range of foods,” she says. “It is the food intolerance which impacts bedwetting. Food intolerance is much more common than food allergy, but much harder to detect.”

    My best tip is to set an alarm to get you up in the middle of the night to walk your little one to the rest room. It’s inconvenient every once in awhile (when you’re oh so tired) but it works, and it works pretty fast.

    Well our son is only three, but in order to control bedwetting we don’t give me anything to drink for two hours before bed and we make sure he goes potty before we lay him down. He is potty trained but still wears diapers to bed but we figure the earlier we get good habits in the better.

    My tip is that sometimes bed wetting is just because a child is a very sound sleeper. I had one of those and I started setting my alarm for 4AM and getting him up to go to the bathroom. After about a month of this he was able to wake himself up. No more bed wetting.
    Thanks for the giveaway!

    I always had my kids go to the bathroom every night before bed and then leave nightlights on so they are not afraid to go during the night as well. Also have lots of patience (and a supply of clean bedding) for some of the kids. It just takes time. reejen at comcast dot net

    I learned that If a parent or an aunt or uncle wet the bed as a kid, then chances are your child’s bedwetting is hereditary. I did not know that. Very interesting. My daughters never did wet to bed but my son has a couple of times. I set my alarm for in the middle of the night and got him up to pee in the potty. I am not sure if that helps or not but it seemed to in my case.

  116. Gayle C says

    After the child wakes with a wet bed, have them help with the clean up and remaking the bed. Do it in a positive and matter-of-fact way, NOT shaming the child. This way the child understands there is no fault but that there are tasks to be done until dry nights are achieved.

    Friday, July 29, 2011 at 7:39 pm

    Have your child not drink anything about 1 hour before bedtime and go to the potty right before getting into bed. We have a plastic cover to protect the mattress, but I also use a quilted waterproof pad between the mattress pad and the bed sheet. That way if my daughter has an accident, I just have to replace the waterproof pad and the bed sheet, rather than having to change the whole bed.

    Oh man, my best bedwetting tip is make the bed twice. That way, on those nights when your kid really floods the bed, you can just rip off that sheet and the protective cover, and you have another sheet ready to go. Which is important.

    AND you have to always remember that your child is NOT doing it on purpose. They are asleep, and they can’t control it, and getting mad makes everyone feel awful and prolongs the problem.

    Really the best tip is to remember that every child is different and able to control their bladders at different times, otherwise you can become very frustrated. You can do things like stop any kind of liquid after a certain time and make sure they use the potty before bed to help.

    I suggest getting a waterproof mattress pad, and exercising patience and compassion. When my foster son first arrived at my home, he sometimes had accidents. We didn’t make a fuss about it. We used Goodnites boxers, which he liked because they are discreet and look like regular underpants.

    I wake my 3.5 yr old every night at 11pm before I hit the hay to go potty. This has cut down on the loads of sheets we do every day significantly. And best of all, she has no recollection of us waking her.

    My son started wetting the bed after we moved to a different house/town/school. I think it was the stress of it all. Although it was more of a phase that didn’t last long, my survival of the middle of the night quick-change was made easier by having the waterproof pad on the bed under his sheets, having a clean bottom sheet, pillowcase and blanket stashed in his room, and underwear and jammies out just in case. Then I could tuck him back into bed so we BOTH could get back to sleep.

    GoodNites® can help reduce kids’ anxiety around bedtime and protect their self-esteem by giving children a sense of control over a situation that is not their fault, helping relieve guilt and frustration until they outgrow it. Also, limit drinks before sleep. Instead of a glass of water before bed, have your child quench their thirst with a cup of ice chips instead of a glass of water before bed

    I learned from GoodNites that it helps to calm kids’ nerves at bedtime to make it feel predictable and safe by doing things like having certain rituals, such as reading books or singing songs before bed, for the kids to look forward to, and buying decorations or bedding with the characters from TV shows or movies they like or look up. Useful advice!

    I loved the tips for helping kids socially, such as packing a plastic bag in their sleeping bag and rolling the ‘nighttime underwear’ up in there so they don’t have to let anyone see it. 3 of my 4 kids have been bedwetters and though we have used plastic sheets as well, it’s the Goodnites that really save me from getting up and changing sheets 2-3 times a night. And the patience and time quote is terrific. We tried a lot of things in desperation, but the truth is, they just need to outgrow it. It does finally end!

    Rice…why didn’t I think of that when my son was little ;) I have to say my pediatrician gave me the best advice pertaining to my son and bed wetting.He was potty trained by 4 but still had the occasional accident and it was frustrating me. She said that boys could sleep thru a freight train and are not really able to hold their bladder completely til 6 so to not feel so much pressure that he would master it in his own time.

    Sorry, Goodnights, but I found that my little guy wets the bed less when he isn’t wearing anything. For those times when he does have an accident, I bought a hospital-style bed pad (remember the ones they had right after you gave birth?) to keep under him. If there’s an accident, it is large enough to protect the sheets and I can easily pull it off of the bed at 3am and out him back to sleep without waking him up too much.

    I didn’t realize bed wetting was genetic either. My son liked to sleep on a fold out kids couch thing that turned into a bed and it was much easier to clean in case of accidents – car wash spray through the cushions + removable washable cover.

    All our mattresses had waterproof covers on them also – even our adult bed since it was often frequented by little ones. :-)
